FROM THE DESK OF REV NIHAL FERNANDO
Dearly beloved in Christ,
The month of June is indeed a special and significant season in the life of our parish, Church of the Good Shepherd. On the 21st of June 2026, our English Congregation will gather for its Annual General Meeting — a time to prayerfully reflect on our journey as a parish community, to review the progress we have made together, and to nominate and elect lay officers and leaders who will continue to guide and strengthen the mission and ministry of our Church.
May Church of the Good Shepherd continue to be a beacon of God’s love, hope, and grace to all.
As your Vicar, I wish to place on record my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all those who faithfully served God and His people during the year 2025 / 2026.
- Mr. Ashan Algama – Vicar’s Warden
- Mrs. Nilani Seneviratne – People’s Warden
- Mr. Anil Jayasinghe – People’s Warden
- Mr. Lalith Dassenaike – People’s Warden
- Mrs. Rohini Jayaratne – People’s Warden
- Mrs. Ruwani Jirasinghe – Hony. Treasurer
- Mrs. Amala Cumaraswamy – Hony. Secretary
Their dedication, commitment, sacrifice, and unwavering support have greatly contributed to the spiritual life and ministry of our parish. We remain deeply grateful for their faithful stewardship and service rendered with humility and love.
As we prepare for the Annual General Meeting, let us uphold our parish in prayer and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that God may raise leaders who are committed to His work, rooted in faith, united in fellowship, and devoted to serving His people with wisdom, integrity, and compassion.
May Church of the Good Shepherd continue to be a beacon of God’s love, hope, and grace to all.
Yours in Christ,
